Week 6: Assignment 2 Meta-cognition

Filed under: Uncategorized — ashnr07 at 2:52 am on Sunday, October 15, 2006

 Yeah, yeah, whatever… I said the Tony Snow Blogging Assignment was going to be the only assignment this week.

 Okay — this one is actually part of that assignment:

Look at the process you are going through to put together an answer to this (admittedly) difficult assignment. Chances are, you are having trouble doing it — and those “troubles” could come in many forms.

 Stop for a second.

Think back on your Top Five Strengths.

Which of those strengths can help you do what you need to do in order to be successful with this blogging assignment?

  • In your blog, write a paragraph about this. List again your top five strengths.

Just look at that list! All five of them are really great strengths to have, don’t you think?

  • Explain how you can use one (or two, or three) of your strengths to do well with your work.

And take a moment to feel gratitude for your five wonderful strengths.

1.)Perspective

2.)bravery

3.)integrity

4.)appreciation of beauty

5.)Trustworthy

6.)kindness

Not really none of my strengths can help me with my assignment. My strengths are real good strengths to have because each of them show alot of meaning. It shows who you are and what your basically made of inside.

“I think the ability to help others more shows gratitude.”

But before resigning Foley had also attented a signing Ceremony at the Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.

 At 3rd Congressman Rep. Rodney Alexander says John Hastert knew that this has been going on Foley and teenage boys. John Hastert knew about an email that had been sent out to an Lousiaina boy. Even the one where Foley asked the boy to send a picture.

 Republicans who are already at risk at loosing control of Congress in election 5 weeks away. Politics of Foley’s downfall could mess up the hotly contested Congressional Elections. The Republicans are leaking the scandal.

   Here’s some information about what Tony Snow had to say about the Scandal:

Week 5: Assignment 2; Revisted Spiderman

Filed under: Uncategorized — ashnr07 at 12:21 pm on Wednesday, October 4, 2006

  Spiderman is the unknown hero. Nobody knows what he looks like. All they know is he saves everybody in the neighborhood. If I had to choose Spiderman Strengths, they would be: bravery, kindness, leadership, integrity.

  Spiderman is very brave when it comes to saving people because he puts his own life in danger just to be a neighborhood hero. He has a lot of bravery because he goes out fighting evil people and saving them. He’s not scared to risk himself of getting hurt.

Example: “Help! Help! Cried the women in the fire.” “Chief I got to go save her said, “Spiderman.

Spiderman Parker was very sweet and polite and always saying nice things. He has a lot of kindness towards people in the neighborhood.

Example: “I’ll help out the paint Uncle Ben; don’t start without me,” Peter said.”

   When Peter Parker became Spiderman, leadership begin coming. A lot of people was looking up for him and having his back too.

Example: “Hey, if you mess with Spiderman you mess with us too!! He just trying to save some kids, “said town’s men.

 Spiderman was a very integrity person. He never meant to hurt nobody. All he like doing was saving the neighborhood and being there for the girl he like, MJ.

Example: “MJ if you ever need me, I’ll always be there for you I promise,’’ he said.

One of Spiderman’s weakness was he didn’t have social intelligence. He didn’t speak of who was and he didn’t tell MJ how he really felt about her. When he was peter he let people pick on him.
